Steakfest 11'

We had to arrive at the field at 8:30 for the captains meeting and play started at 9:00AM. Not only after getting 3 hours of sleep we did not expect to do well, we also only had 1 sub the entire tournament. On Saturday we played in around 30MPH winds, meaning that it was pretty much impossible to throw the disc upwind. We ended up going 3-3 for the whole tournament, we were satisfied with this because before playing at Steakfest we had never won any games as a women's team. We are now preparing for (probably) our last tournament of the semester, sectionals. Sectionals is going to be held at Middlebury College.
Sectionals is different this year because teams are split up up into conferences instead of regions. Before this semester, teams would play teams in their area. For example, last year we played teams like Colby, Farmingtion, UMPI, and UNH. This year we are divided into sectionals by the amount of people in each school. This makes sense because bigger schools obviously have an advantage, but for schools like UMO where ultimate is not very popular, it is hard to try and compare to schools like Middlebury, Dartmouth, and UVM.
